The family's early circumstances were modest, with the Roses residing in a in for several years following his birth, indicative of economic constraints typical for post-war immigrant households in . This peripatetic start shifted when Rose's father obtained a civil service posting in the Imperial administration in (present-day ), leading to the family's relocation to during Stuart's childhood.

Rose's turnaround strategy emphasized operational efficiency and customer relevance, including sourcing clothing and textiles from international suppliers to reduce costs, refurbishing stores for a modern aesthetic, and revitalizing womenswear through in-house design control rather than reliance on external concessions. He prioritized the food hall segment by enhancing product quality and exclusivity, while streamlining non-core operations such as closing underperforming international stores and divesting peripheral assets like the St Michael brand. These measures successfully repelled Green's 2004 bid, with M&S shares rising over 200% in the following years under Rose's direction. Financial results reflected early successes, with underlying profits recovering to approach £1 billion by the late 2000s, a level not sustained since , driven by a 17% profit increase in the first half of one fiscal year and strong holiday sales projections.
